Why only a fool would pay over 0.9BTC per GigaHash

[mechs]

So, USB eruptors will be going on sale next week at 0.3 BTC/each (about 334MHZ stock, over 400MHZ each with overclocking and cooling).  That means for 0.9 BTC you can easily get 1GHZ without risk (and some OC overhead).

This will hurt anyone who was trying to sell their Avalon units or BFLs as ASICMiner is squashing all prices.  They will also be selling the "old" eruptor blades bapable of 10GHZ stock speed for 10.25 BTC each (overclockable to about 12GHZ) which is about the same price at 0.97BTC per GHZ.  The only reason to buy those is no usb hub required and there is more room for overclocking than the USB miners.

In 2 weeks, the "new" blades will go on sale.  Their specs and price have not yet been announced.  I expect both the speed and the prices to both be higher;)  Whether they offer a better value on a BTC per GHZ basis is the real question.  Also, be interesting to see the watts/GHZ as well.

These Chinese are playing us like a banjo. Too bad they don't have real competition.

I think the US and Europe companies will come out strong with the 24nm ASICs which will win on both having higher hashrates and lower price per watts.  All the 108nm ASICs will be obsolete within 2 months.
